The Banks O DoonSecond Version
the banks o' doon—sed version ye flowery banks o' bonie doon, how ye blume sae fair? how ye t, ye little birds, and i sae fu' o care! thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird, that sings upon the bough! thou minds me o' the happy days when my fause luve was true. thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird, that sings beside thy mate; for sae i sat, and sae i sang, and wist na o' my fate. aft hae i rov'd by bonie doon, to see the woodbiwine; and ilka bird sang o' its luve, and sae did i o' mine. wi' lightsome heart i pu'd a rose, upon its thorny tree; but my fause luver staw my rose, ahe thorn wi' me. wi' lightsome heart i pu'd a rose, upon a morn in june; and sae i flourished on the morn, and sae u'd or noon.
